Original song by the Charlie Daniels band
The
Chief went down to Halo
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He
was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to
make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a
gun and shootin' it hot
And the Chief jumped
Up on a hickory
stump
And said boy let me tell you what
Now you shoot a
pretty good gun, boy
But give the Chief his due
I'll bet a gun
of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than
you
The boy said my name's Keys
And it might be a sin
But
I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best
there's ever been
The Chief opened up his case
And he said
I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he
rosined up his Clip
Then he pulled the Clip across the gun
And
it made a sic evil hiss
And a band of gurnts joined in
And it
sounded something like this
Instrumental
When the
chief finished
keys said well you're pretty good old son
Just
sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's
done
He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The
chiefs's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan
picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child,
no
Instrumental
The Chief bowed his head
Because
he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden gun
On the
ground and keys's feet
Keys said, Chief just come on back
If
you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a
bitch
I'm the best there's ever been
And he played Fire on
the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the
Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does
your dog bite
No child, no
